Former twice winner of celebrity version of quiz show leads race to replace John Humphrys
With quizmaster John Humphrys set to depart Mastermind, the question being asked is if the long-running show will finally be hosted by a woman.
Tipped to lead the runners-and-riders list to replace the veteran broadcaster is, reportedly, Samira Ahmed. The presenter of Front Row on Radio 4 won Celebrity Mastermind in 2010, and again in 2019, when she was crowned Champion of Champions, with Space:1999, the 1970s sci-fi show, as her specialist subject.
